European Front Grill

Does anyone know how to order the European variant of the front grill that is standard on the E350 offered for sale in Europe. It’s a much nicer looking grill than the cheap junk looking grill offered for sale in the USA.
It just has horizontal slats without the cheap looking MB big star that sits in the middle of the North American front grill which in my opinion makes the E sedan look cheap. The grill on my 2019 E300 has just the horizontal slats without that cheap looking piece of plastic giant star in the middle of the grill and gives it a far richer looking appearance and a more refined look, which I guess is why it’s still standard in Europe. Also if you know the part number that would be great. Thanks to any replies.

The German W213 E350 Avant-garde model front grill had a large star. Variations I viewed had a single or a double horizontal bar, but all had a large star. The radar antenna is located behind the plastic star. A metal star will block the radar. FWIW my '18 E300 has the large plastic star.

Post an image of the grill you are seeking along with a part number.

I just purchased mine from my Australian Mercedes dealer a few weeks ago. They were suprised that there was not a block on those parts for the Australian market.
The fact is that Mercedes Australia started selling an E200 with the Luxury grille and therefore we can now order it as a spare part.
Bit in US, there must be a block by Mercedes US.
